... Sure there are people making 6 figures here but that is an extremely small sampling. ...
Define 'extremely small'.
Since I like actual numbers, I took the time to look at our school district, and found that of those with 25 years or more in the system, 4.76% had pensions above $100,000. The median for that 25 years plus group was $70,975.
That is well above the median household income in Illinois ($56,576), and of course, there may be a second income in that household.
For the purpose of this discussion, I have no interest in whether anyone thinks that is fair/unfair, earned/unearned, etc. I'm just reporting actual numbers, and they are not 'middle class'.
